I agree. That would be a lot better.

This could be as easy as having a colour symbol like "🔵", "🟡" as the first
character of every such tag, and then colour every folder with the
corresponding colour if it has any tag associated that contains such a colour
symbol.

Having it at the beginning of a file makes some sense. What we have right now
already is that one can "Show additional information>Tags" and then the tags
will be listed right below the file name. This is not as pretty, but it allows
hiding the tags information when one doesn't need it, which is a slight upside.
If the tag's name is a symbol like "🔴", it somewhat serves the purpose you are
describing.

>1 - Put the "Tag" menu visible on the sidebar by default

Tags already show up in the sidebar by default (after a Dolphin restart) if a
tag was created.

Right. We don't have an easy way to jump to see the files with a certain tag
within a specific folder currently.

>Imho this would be a killer feature

It does sound useful for a certain type of user. It wouldn't really make a
difference for my personal way of organising files, but I bet it would make a
big difference for others.

I don't think every user would want this in their context menu, but it could be
something that is enabled by default but could be disabled.
